Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or Fingerling)

1/4 cup olive oil

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. If they are large, cut them in halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.

      Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

        Coat the Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mix. Toss the potatoes thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispiness.

            Roasting: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Halfway through cooking, give the potatoes a good stir for even browning.

              Final Touches: Once crispy, remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your crispy Parmesan roasted potatoes warm as a delightful side dish or snack!
